MODERATORS
This post is a very realistic reflection of a sentiment I see several times a week
There is bias in what you routinely see. What one person says cannot be taken as an entire group's opinion.
This is a meme with photoshopped dogs. Not an academic study
And yet you are responding to it seriously.
Is stating I've experienced what the meme is saying all that serious?
I didn't say it was an academic study. And regardless of the form there is still a message here.
Let's take a breath and analyze the message. The community we are in is me_irl. Someone experienced a thing and made a meme of it.
Most click, go "hahaha, I've experienced that, Upvote"
You decided to say this was a strawman.
I said nah I've experienced it.
Then you decided to go off about biases, when this community is definitely about going "haha I've experienced that"
